*-Time skip: 5:00 p.m.-*
The students, once again, laid across the couches and along the floor. Caden ran up to Goku.
"Daddy?"
He bent down and picked her up.
"What's up?"
"I wanna go to sleep with you."
"You wanna go to sleep with me?"
"Yeah, I'm tired."
"Okay, let's go tell Mommy, okay?"
"Okay."
She rested her head in the crook of his neck. He just laughed softly and rubbed her back.
"Hey, Chi?"
She turned from the food she was making.
"Yes, honey?"
"I'm gonna lay down and sleep"
he made sure to wink while saying the word sleep, which she caught.
"with Caden in our room."
Then he whispered something into Caden's ear and she lifted her head.
"Don't disturb us."
She laughed and kissed their cheeks.
"Alright. I love you two."
"Love you, too."
"Love you, three, Mommy."
They walked upstairs.
"Gohan, honey, come here for a second, please."
"Okay, Mom."
He turned to Erasa, Sharpener, and Videl.
"I'll be right back."
They nodded and he went into the kitchen.
"Yeah, Mom?"
"Well, I wanted to ask a favor of you."
"Sure, about what?"
"Chiyu."
"Why, what's wrong?"
"She seems like she doesn't get to spend much time with your father, and that's killing her. So, instead of being her brother for a little bit, be her friend, because she needs someone to talk to."
He nodded and walked to the back door. He opened it, looked left and then right, and then shut the door behind him as he walked out.
"Hey, Chiyu."
She almost tackled him down in a hug.
"What's wrong? You okay?"
"I know I'm too old for this, but I want Dad."
"You're not too old for it. We don't have to be 5 years old to want our parents nearby."
She was laying her head in his chest and he kept her close.
"Wanna sit down?"
She nodded and he sat while she laid her head in his lap.
"Is that what's been bothering you?"
"Yeah."
"Do you want me to go get Dad?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, stay out here, okay?"
"K."
He ran into the house and upstairs. He quietly opened the door and walked over to his parent's bed.
